Reportedly Lady Gaga was paid $250,00 for the performance which will also include “Bad Romance” and original choreography. Her outfit will be very skimpy sources report.
I don’t know about you, but Adam Lambert and Wilkes-Barre does not seem like a match made in heaven to me. Nothing against Wilkes-Barre intended either so don’t get your knickers in a bunch.
Adam’s tour kicks off at the FM Kirby Center for the Performing Arts in Wilkes-Barre on June 4th. Opening acts include last year’s fourth place Idol runner-up Allison Iraheta and Orianthi whose hit single “According To You” has been burning up the charts.
Tickets are $39.50. If you don’t feel like heading to Wilkes-Barre, Adam will be performing at Musikfest in Bethlehem in August.
